The most common names for the sugars I listed were.

1) Raw Sugar

3) Light Brown Sugar
4) Dark Brown Sugar
5) Molasses
6) Powdered Sugar

I've had a cold all week I've been fighting, hopefully in a day or two I should have another recipe up for you.

Making your Baking Merrier with a Giveaway

The Give-away is now closed and Erin the Spiffy Cookie was our winner!

I wanted to give back a little something to all of you who have made my year Merrier.  I'm hoping some of the things I love for baking would be something you would love to have in your kitchen too. These can be yours, two silicone mats, cute Christmas cutters, piping tips and bags, some cute cupcake gear and a $50 gift card from Sur La Table.  Maybe for a couple of new pans or some spatulas to make your baking life a little bit easier.

You didn't think you were going to get off scott free and just have to follow me to enter did you? Roxana gave me a fabulous idea when she questioned whether or not I have 13 different types of sugars in my pantry.  After I quit laughing, I realized that it did seem like a random number, but indeed there are 13 different types of sweeteners and sugars hiding in my pantry.

Now for the fun part, to enter you have to name them.  I'm not that mean, so I'm gonna give you a few hints:

1)  These little cubes are "naked".

2)  This sugar most commonly comes from beets.

3)  This sugar is what gives cookies a golden color.

4)  This sugar is #3's cousin who was left out in the sun too long.

5)  You need to hold your nose to use this sweetener.

6)  This sugar is much sweeter than eating freshly fallen snow.

7)  This liquid sweetener comes from a plant in the desert.

8)  I use these packets in my tea because I get enough sugar in my desserts (no I'm not going to tell you what color they are, that would be way too easy!)

9)  This sugar when sprinkled on top of my pies, makes they shine and adds a nice crunch.

10)  No Christmas sugar cookie would be complete without a sprinkling of this sugar.

11)  A pecan pie would not be the same without this flowing sweetener.

12)  I like this sugar to add a bit of sweetness to a cocktail rim.

13)  Only really hard workers can retrieve this liquid sweetener.

If you want to enter, e-mail me the answers at spcookiequeen-blog{at}yahoo{dot}com.  If you don't want to have a little fun with the questions just leave me a comment and say, me (I'll count those too, shh!!!).  I will pick the winner by assigning numbers and using random number generator and announce the winner next Tuesday, December 6.

Sorry to have to do this, but it is only open to U.S. and Canada residents.  I'm afraid if I sent it International you wouldn't have it in time for the holidays.

Good Luck and I have a chocolate pie up for your next.
